The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. Origin of Famous Phrase A Pike county Missouriian is credited with having first used the expression, "If this court knows herself, and she think she do." Long before the discovery of gold in California a Pike county boy named Blackburn, so it is said, ran away from home and went to the Rocky mountains, where he grew to manhood as Indian fighter, hunter, trapper and mountain guide. He became 6 feet 4 inches tall, proportionately thin, and marvelously awkward. He had many encounters with grizzlies and Indians. He was scarred from head to foot, one eye had been partly gouged out, his hair was thin and coarse, and stood straight up on top of his head and hung in every direction from the sides. Blackburn, as might be supposed, was not an educated man, but he was not lacking in keep wit and sound sense. When gold was discovered Blackburn went to the mines, and the miners, as a sort of a joke, elected him alcalde, an office similar to that of justice of the peace. The first case brought before the alcalde was that of a gambler who, while drunk and on God's Angel God's Angels in Disguise When the lessons and tasks are all ended And the school for the day is dismissed. The little ones gather around me. To bid me good-night and be kissed. And when they are gone I sit dreaming, of my childhood too long to love. Of joy that there will remember, While it wakes to the pulse of the past, Ere the world and its wickedness made two. A partner of sorrow and sin, When the glory of God was about me, And the glory of gladness within. All my heart grows as weak as a woman's a mountains of feeling will flow, When I think of the paths steep and stony. When the feet of the dear ones must go; Of the mountains of sin hanging 'er them, Of the tempest of fate blowing wild; Oh! there's nothing on earth half so holy As the innocent heart of a child. They are idols of hearts and of house holds, They are angels of God in disguise; His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses, His glory still gleams in their eyes; Those trunts from home and from heaven, They have made me more manly and kind. And I know now how Jesus could liken The kingdom of God to a child. Humming Bird Humming Birds as Pets Of all the birds, the humming birds, especially when young, seem to display the least fear, says a writer in Country Life in America. It is a difficult matter to train a young canary bird to follow one about the house or to come when called, yet we have had several humming birds which were perfectly domesticated and more thoroughly tame than any bird I have ever seen. Two humming birds that grew up with us were given a small place in a closet in our sleeping apartment. At the first approach of daylight they would fly out into the room, the door being left ajar and directly to the bed, hovering over my face, their loud humming noise awakening me at once. There was no mistaking that the birds wished their breakfast, and they could not be driven away. At times I would pretend not to see them, and they would hover over my eyes, so near that the wind from the rapidly moving wings was quite sufficient to arouse me. When I held out my finger, one or both would alight upon it and gaze Coal is Still Supreme The tendency to spontaneous combustion of coal when stored in bulk—in masses of, say, 1,000 tons or thereabouts—may appear to be a somewhat unusual point to make in favor of the gas engine as a large size power unit for central station work. It was, however, made as such recently by a central station engineer, whose contention was that the nearly always present danger of spontaneous ignition in the large reserve stock of coal expedient for a power station of any considerable size to carry, to tide over possible temporary interruptions in the supply, from strikes or other causes, was entirely eliminated by the use of gas engines which took their gas from central gas plants. Curiously, however, the fact appears here to have been overlooked that He Mixed the Proverbs. The other night at a dinner Martin W. Littleton, president of the Borough of Brooklyn, told this story: "On a cabbage patch owned by a negro in a Southern community oil was found. Speculators offered the negro $20,000, which he accepted without waiting to consider another proposition, said to be $40,000. "How's this about your cabbage patch?" said Mr. Littleton to the negro. horseback, had run over a young Mexican woman, knocking her down and seriously injuring her. The trial took place in the largest cabin in the neighborhood, which was packed with roughly dressed, much-bewhiskered men. The gambler, who was rich, hired able counsel to defend him. Alcalde Blackburn called the young woman, who told her story in broken English, but frankly and honestly. When she finished, the alcalde peremptorily ended the trial. The attorney for the defendant protested vehemently, but the alcalde ran his hand through his hair until it stood up straighter on top than ever and remarked: "If this court knows herself, and she think she do, I fine you $500 damages and assess upon you the costs of puttin' this were cal in good condition." When asked what he meant by "good condition," he replied that the "gambin' chap" must pay the doctor's bill and all other costs of the woman's illness. A more learned judge might have made a more formal rulling, but scarcely a juster one.—Kansas City Journal. I ask not a life for the dear ones, All radiant, as others have done. But that life may have just enough shadow. To temper the glare of the sun. I would pray God to guard them from the sun.

I shall leave the old house in the autumn To traverse its threshold no more; The flowers bloom with the stones, That meet me each morn at the door! I shall miss the "good-nights" and kisses, And the gule of their innocent eye; The flowers bloom with the flowers That are brought every morning for me. I shall miss them at morn and at even, The song in the school and the street; The flowers bloom with the flowers And the tread of their delicate feet.

Their food consisted of sugar and water which was fed to them with a straw. Immediately upon seeing they would poise in the air and lick the drop on the tip until they were satisfied. Occasionally they would poise before the big red flowers printed on the curtains. They recognized the pictures of flowers on sight and endeavored to press their bills into them. Artificial flowers were approached in the same way. In a word, these most helpless, the smallest of all birds, required no education, no training from parents; it was all instinctive. The absolute lack of fear was the most interesting. The birds followed us about the house, went to their mistress when called, even flew down from an upper room at a call, following the stairway when an ordinary bird would have kept close to the ceiling, butting its head against it. with the large gas engine plant will come, as an almost inseparable adjunct, the gas producer, taking the place of the steam boiler now accessory to the steam engine installation, so that the large coal pile will remain in evidence as before, and the spontaneous ignition troubles as well, even with certain precautions against them, in the way of selecting and storing the coal. Experience in some cases has dictated the safe height to which coal of certain sulphur percentage may be banked, but this height will vary with some other governing conditions easily enough imagined. The gas engine, therefore, will, after all, have to depend for favorable consideration upon its several other well known good points rather than upon the one mentioned in the opening lines of this paragraph. "I understand you have sold it for $20,000." " 'Yaas, that's true, boss,' replied the negro. 'Yo see, men come pickin' round my place an 'dey say dar' oil heath. 'Dey say.

WASHINGTON People and Things at the Capitol of our Great Nation. T. E. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. President of All the People. Who will be nominated Next Week to Continue as such. His motto is: "All men up." Washington, June 16—The S. Coleridge Taylor Society, under the direction of Prof. J. T. Layton, is working hard on Taylor's great work, "The Annunciation," which will be rendered sometime in the fall under the direction of the composer. George Robinson, of Fairfax County, Va., who was found wandering along Louisiana avenue early Wednesday morning and arrested by Policeman Sanford, after he had made several incoherent statements about trying to escape from the men who murdered his brother, was examined later by the police surgeons. They found him to be of unsound mind, and on their order he was sent to St. Elizabeth's Asylum. The Civil Service, Commission has furnished to the house committee on civil service reform a statement showing that the total number of ex-soldiers and ex-sailors of the civil war PRESID President of All the People as suc employed in the executive departments at Washington is 2,175 and the widows of veterans so employed 388. The information was asked in view of complaints that there are many superannuated clerks on the pay rolls. The largest number of veterans—641—employed in the interior department, while the treasury department carries 553 and the war department 347. There are only twenty-three veterans on the navy department roll and only seven in the state department. The ages of the old soldiers and sailors vary from 50 to 82 years. There are 217 who are 61 years old, while those younger form the next larger class, 197 in number. Nearly two-thirds, or 1,388, are from 58 to 65 years of age. Those over 70 years of age number 226, and of this number eleven are over 80. The veteran with the longest service is 77 years old. He has served fifty-two years. Nearly two-thirds, or 1,332 of the 2,175 veterans, receive salaries ranging from $1,200 to $2,500 per annum, while 66 receive more than $2,500 per annum. Those receiving $840 or less number 476. The veterans and their widows constitute 10 per cent of the number of persons employed in the departments and government printing office in Washington. "Don't make the mistake of thinking the Missouri Republicans are 'building castles in Spain' when they talk of putting the state in the Republican column at the next election," said Representative Richard Bartholdt at the Willard Monday night. "They know what they are doing." Rev. R. M. Alexander and wife of Spartanburg, S. C., passed through the city this week. Rev. Alexander is the man who fought the "Jim Crow" plans at the Presbyterian Assembly at Buffalo. J. Douglass Wetmore, Esq., the handsome Jacksonville lawyer was in town this week en route to New York. Wetmore has many friends in the Capital city. Secretary Cortelyou and Commissioner General Sargent, of the Immigration Bureau, have returned from a tour of the ports of entry at Buffalo, Niagara, Toronto, Montreal, Quebec, Malone, N.

It is among the possibilities of the early future that patrons of barber shops in Washington will be protected by law from insanitary dangers. Antiseptic cups and brushes may be used in all the "tonsioral parlors," and the germ of "barbers' itch" given a knockout jab. Dr. Woodward, the health officer of the District, has collected a mass of evidence on the dangers of non-aniseptic shaving, and hair-cutting, and is in favor of strict laws for the inspection of barber shops. A number of Afro-Americans of the city have purchased the Jane Mosely, a large excursion steamer, from a Baltimore firm, and will run it on the Potomac River this season. Somerset Beach and Lower Cedar Point have been secured as landing points for picnics and summer outings. The company is backed by a number of churches in the District, and has selected Mr. Lewis Jefferson as president and general manager. In the police court Monday Policeman George V. Johnson of the Seventh precinct testified that he saw George Gunn kiss Bessie Baker, a domestic, with a resounding smack. George and Bessie were in the dock on charges of disorderly conduct, but Judge Scott did not think them particularly culpable, and accepted their personal bonds. They had been arrested on the Aqueduct Bridge, where he alleged missing Justice R. H. Terrell presided at an echo meeting held at Galbraith A. M. E. church, Monday night, Hon. John C. Dancy was speaker of the evening. A report from Consul General Winslow at Guatemala City says that the coffee crop of Guatemala for this year will total 1,000,000 sacks of 100 pounds each of excellent quality. Last year the crop was not up to the average in either quantity or quality, 700,000 sacks of ordinary coffee being the total crop. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington, who is in Berlin, read a paper before the International Women's Congress, Monday on "The Situation of Colored Women as House Servants." The Press reports say Mrs. Terrell was enthusiastically received. The destruction wrought on crops EVELT, d Next Week to Continue n up." by countless plant enemies throughout the country is revealed by a report issued by the department of agriculture on "Plant Diseases in 1903." Besides the mass of detail regarding conditions in the United States proper, it shows that the coffee leaf blight accidentally has been introduced in Porto Fico and measures are being taken to stamp it out. "You are not prosecuting attorney in this court, and you will have to be quiet and take your seat." This was the substance of a rebuke administered to Policeman C. E. Ehlers by Judge Scott, in the police court, after Ehlers had tried several times to have another witness called when a case had been opened. The coroner, John H. Robinson, the latter an Afro-American, had been arraigned on a joint charge of disorderly conduct, and Judge Scott decided that Cronin was the responsible party, fining him $5, and ordering Robinson released. Gov. George R. Carter, of Hawaii, head of the Hawaiian delegation to the Chicago convention, was in Washington Monday, and took luncheon with the president. Postmaster General Payne, accompanied by Mrs. Payne and Miss Jones and by his private secretary, Mr. Francis H. Whitney, left last Sunday for Chicago. He will be absent from Washington until the end of June. John F. Cook and Robert Reyburn, the district of Columbia delegates to the national convention, favor suffrage for the District, and will ask for plank in platform. Everyday Sort of Hero The Winston (N. C.) papers speak in high terms of the Memorial Dayration delivered by the Hon. Frank S. Robbins of Lexington. He was one of six brothers who responded to the call for troops when North Carolina seceded. Only two returned—the Hon. M. W. Robbins, member of the Gettysburg commission, and the Hon. Frank C. Robbins. Capt. "Mack" Robbins has served in Congress and is the more widely known of the two brothers, but not a whit more deserving of the confidence of the state. Modest, able, honorable, incorruptible. Capt. Frank Robbins is the best type of the North Carolina lawyer and citizen. In his speech at Lexington Capt. Robbins followed no hackneyed line, but filled his address with inspiring and human stories. The Sentinel thus gives an account of his story of a true to life hero, prefaced by an estimate of the address: "The simple earnestness of his master, his clear, graphic statements of facts, the total absence of clap-trap from every utterance, together with his noble and impressive personality, compelled the admiration and approval of every one. It is impossible to give in a mere outline any adequate idea of his address, which dealt with the character of the Confederate soldier and its inspiration. This, he said, could best be illustrated by incidents rather than by description. "He told of a man in his company War Gods of Japan Innumerable stories are being published in Japan about Capt. Hirose, who died in an attempt to "bottle up" the Russian fleet at Port Arthur and who has been proclaimed a "war god." A man who knew him in childhood says: "As a child the captain received with us the primary-school instruction at the Kwansho school. The boy is father of the man; and even in those early days the boy Hirose distinguished himself far above his school-collins, both in play and scholarship. It was he who was the champion of the sport of sliding on the snow down Ebi hill. He never had his face stained with a daub of ink when we played the 'poetry cards' at his father's temporary residence, simply because he was never beaten even once. Then whenever we boys had exercises in versification his performances nearly always won the best mark, and even when they failed, at rare intervals, to come to that level of excellence they never fell below the standard of second best. In short, he was carried by an unconquerable spirit in anything he took a hand in. "Hirose took great pains in the training of his body," says this same They Killed the Snake During the siege of Ladysmith in the Boer war, Henry W. Nevinson and the late T. W. Maud, British war correspondent, were walking up the main road of the village when they caught sight of a black thing moving rapidly across the road close in front of their feet. It was about three feet long or a little less and was moving very swiftly. In a perfectly straight line it darted forward, without the usual snake-like wriggling or other visible means of movement. Acustomed from boyhood to hunt adders on the Cumberland moors, Nevinson dashed upon it with his stick and broke its back with a single blow. Nevertheless, it still continued to move forward, as snakes will, no matter how desperately wounded, and the war correspondent sprang on its head and stamped it into the dust with his boot. At the same time Maud, who had only just perceived the danger, stamped on its back. The long and deadly body gave a few little jerks and then lay still. The snake was carefully lifted on the end of a stick, carried back to the cottage, where the two men lived, and carefully deposited outside for future examination.

He often reprimanded him, but Lusk always got the better of him by asking him if he had ever failed him in the hour of battle. When Capt. Robbins' command was ordered South he called up Lusk and told him he wanted him to have no more roving and foraging. Lusk promised that he would not fall him. "That was the last he ever saw of Lusk. In a battle that followed soon after Capt. Robbins and many another fell in a desperate but successful charge. After his return to his command Capt. Robbins said the first greeting he got from Lieut. Vaughan was a message from Henry Lusk. 'Tell Capt. Robbins,' he said, 'that I did not fail him.' Henry Lusk had fallen in the front of that gallant charge. He was a nomad in his way; he loved to rove and forage, but his loyalty and bravery no man might impeach." It is stories like this that the youth of the country love to hear. Too many orators deal only with perfect heroes. Boys and men are skeptical of the tributes that deal only with men without faults. Their experience is that there are few perfect men. Most of the heroes of war, like the heroes of peace, have their fallings. Give us more of the heroes like Private Henry Lusk.—Raleigh (N. C.) News and Observer. Japanese goossi. "While a student at the Kogyoku-shi he made it a rule to take a constitutional round the outer moat of the palace premises early every morning. It was not surprising that, with his appetite whetted by such vigorous exercise, he very often emptied by himself the whole contents of a boiled rice cask holding in it the portion of two or three people. He used to say that he had been admitted to the naval academy not by the strength of his scholarship but by virtue of his splendid physique, and he added that he failed to see any good in the practice of constantly poring over books with weakened health." Jigoro Kano, who was Capt. Hirose's teacher in jujitsu, tells one Japanese newspaper that this martial art was the captain's only source of amusement, and that he used to devote himself to the exercise with rare application. For instance, when he returned home from a long cruise, the first thing he would do after landing on shore was to come with his jujitsu suit to Kano's school and have as many bouts with his instructor as possible. On the following morning a fragment of a Boer shell dropped on the snake, cutting it clean in half—but the rest is better told in Mr. Nevinson's own words: "To my astonishment, he says, "I noticed that the snake's inside was pure white. I looked closer. It was white, cotton wool. The skin was a sliken umbrella case. The body was carefully wound round with black thread and a long piece of cotton projected from the mouth—the place where the deadly fangs ought to have been. Being something of a naturalist, I took the creature up in my hand, lifted it with care, because I remembered that poisonous snakes will bite even after death. I thought that at the end of the campaign I would bring it home and present it to the South Kensington museum. It needed no stuffing. "And now, whenever I am down-hearted and want to think of something that is happy, I think of the little boy (or little girl) who sat behind a wall with a piece of cotton in his hand and watched two experienced war correspondents pluckily dancing upon his magic snake and leaving it for dead."

MISSISSIPPI’S JIM CROW CARS. ‘The operation of the Jim Crow law which went into effect ‘on all of the street cars of the state of Mississippl recently, is being watched with much interest by the people of that state. ‘The law was put into operation qui- etly and there has been litle friction, as the better class of Afro-Americans have withdrawn their patronage from the car lines, 2nd those found on the cars are, as a rule, poor working peo- ple who have long distances to make. ‘The “color line” signs are so made as to be movable to any part of the car, thus making it possible to reserve the entire car, or any two seats In the front, or in the rear. As a rule the two Tear seats are reserved, and It is the exception when these two are filled with Afro-American passengers. It is sald that the managers of the street railroad companies are hopeful that the resentful feolings aroused in the breasts of Afro-Americans by the operation of the law will soon wear off, but if these people are made of the right stuff they. will resist to the end.

No one had any confidence in them. 1 was a soldier from the spring of 1862 until the war ended, and I never saw a colored reg- iment’ in a place of danger.” Now Mr. Lee may be entirely cor- rect as to what He saw during his military service, but he is evidently woefully ignorant Of the history of that war—the one of ’61 and ’65, Geo, W. Williams in his "History of the Colored Troops” says that they took part in not less than two hundred and thirteen battles and skirmishes. Nothing more brilliant than the storm- ing of Fort Wagner by the Afro- American soldiers occurred in that war, while their desperate work at Olustee, Port Hudson and Milliken’s Bend are among the martial epbebs of the world. 5 Mr. Lee, however. may not have been anywhere around when the guns were finfig and men were falling at these desperate places, he may be the man for whom we have all been look- ing for over forty years but have not yet found—the man who was under the ammunition wagon, COLLINS IS THE MAN. It would seem from the fight which is going on between the several gu- bernatorial candidates that Minnesota is likely to have a sort of repetition of the Ilinois muddle, which will be very bad for the party. “The office of gover- nor of the great state of Minnesota is one worth striving for, and the various candidates are all worthy men, any fone of whom would fill the office with credit to all parties concerned, and it is only the individual preferences of the people which should and will de- termine who shall receive the honor or the nomination, and of course the election. ‘We have nothing to say against el- ther of the candidates, for they are all fine gentlemen, but in our humble opinion sthere are’ personal character. {istics which incline us to the belief that, all things consideredg Hon. L. W. Collins will make the best gover- nor for all the people, and therefore we belleve he should receive the nom President and Mrs. Roosevelt gave ‘a luncheon in honor of the Philippine Commission last week. ‘The Southern papers have made no howl, although the guests were not white. The South- ern people can stand the brown people from over the sea, but they are not willing to accord decent treatment to their yellow, brown and black fellow cltizens. ‘The Charleston News and Courier acknowledges that “the intellect and valor of the Japanese are equal. to those of Anglo‘Saxons.” As the Jap: anese are a colored people and the News and Courier has heretofore maintained that the Anglo-Saxon was ordained by God to dominate all other peoples, this is a strange admission, There is a raging dispute among] the members of the municipal building commission of the District of Colum: ‘bia over the color question, but in this instance the Afro-American is not the issue, the gentlemen are unable to agree on the color to be used in paint: ing the high board fence surrounding the new district building site, A aark skinned man attempted to assault a woman at Shelbyville, Ind.,. and was captured by a mob which, supposing him to be an Afro-Amer- ican, was on the way to lynch him, when someone recognized the man as a Mexican who has been in the local- ity for a short time.- The Mexican was given his liberty. — President Roosevelt is a splendid example of American manhood. He| was wealthy and could have lived a. life of leisure, but he believed it to be his duty to serve his fellow men. His life teaches a lesson: Right conduct and adherence to right principles are not barriers to political success. Is it fair to demand that a man shall tisk his life in defense of a govern- ment in which he has no voice? Good government means a fair op- ‘portuniiy. and equal. rights: for all. THE DOOR OF HOPE 1 cannot consent to take tne position that the door of hope—the door of opportunity—is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the grounds of race or color.— a } PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. oO sk lace | : | Defective Page | aniiialie or - WASHINGTON, Contains Ge wices Pane.

Several years ago Mr. William Trevane Francis was appointed stenographer in the legal department of the Northern Pacific railway. He proved to be so proficient in that capacity that Wm. Trevanne Francis. he was promoted to file clerk. Of course being in the legal department he got the idea of studying law into his head and when the St. Paul College of Law was organized about three years ago he at once entered the college and has always been considered among the brightest of his class. He has been intrusted with much of the legal business of the company since he began the study of law and has thus had some practical training. His standing with the company is excellent and he looks forward to securing advancement in the near future. Mr. Francis graduated with his class last night at Park Congregational church, corner Mackubin and Holly avenue, taking the degree of LL. B. Mr. Francis made a splendid record in his class, being considered one of the best men in it though only thirty-three years old, and was one of those who were chosen to take part ESTABLISHED MY MOUTH SEVENTH AND ROBERT TIDE = RED (GAINS WITH OTHERS) $13 All Departments Before Invent Shoes F in a great mock trial a little over a year ago.

W. COLLINS. His Candidacy for Governor Uphold by a Well-Known Minneapolisitan. Minneapolis, Minn., June 15, 1904. Home conditions and what it means to us Afro-American citizens of this particular locality. While looking through the political lines we must observe what is meant for our good, and carefully avoid what is bad; we must observe cautiously, studiously, and without prejudice, as it is studious. We still believe the interests of this country, state and this particular city have been best served by the Republican party. We can easily see our duty, but to perform it the conditions of to-day require us to vote intelligently and avoid any reaction. We should also vote for the interests of the community in which we live. It is the poorest kind of politics to vote yourself out of a vote. Support the one that the intelligent citizens are unanimously supporting, unreservedly in this political campaign for the next Governor of Minnesota, a man in every sense of the word, a man which means something to us as citizens, a man whose record of seventeen years upon the Supreme bench has been what it SHOULD have been, as the record will show. One fact in Judge Collins' life, if there was nothing else to refer to, should entitle him to the support, admiration and respect of every Afro-American voter in the State of Minnesota. In the statutes of our state there is a law in substance providing that no person shall be excluded from hotels, public conveyances, restaurants, etc., "because of race, creed or color, or previous condition of servitude." In 1898 an Afro-American man in Duluth brought an action because he had been denied receiving refreshments he demanded, because of his color. The action was carried to Supreme Court, and because the parishal case in which he had denied refreshments was not mentioned in the statute, a majority of the Court held he had no cause of action. Justice Collins, in a dissenting opinion, held that his rights were included in the words contained in the statute "other places of public resort, refreshment, accommodation and entertainment," and held that the Afro-American man had the same rights and privileges as the white man in ANY "place of public resort, refreshment, accommodation or entertainment. Remember this, and vote for your favorite." This case is reported in Vol. 74 of the Minnesota Reports. It is an honor to support such a man as Judge L. W. Collins for Governor. Prior to the county convention, support his workers at the caucuses June 27th in your respective precincts and wards, and in doing so you will give him the proper support, so as to give him the right kind of delegates in the convention who will support the Judge and support him properly, and not desert him in the hour of need, or trade away the very strength you have given him. Judge Collins personally solicits your support in this way, then you will have performed your whole duty to your community as a full fledged citizen. The support needed most prior to, and at the caucuses on the 27th of next month. His election is assured by the Republicans of this state when nominated, so you see our duty to the only logical representative candidate for Governor lies with us to support him now and at the precinct caucus, and at the polls he will prove a strong winner. Look to these if you are citizens, and share alike the success that awaits the deserving ones among us. Give this careful study. Yours very respectfully. Philip F. Hale.

Howard Manufacturing Co.; manufacturers of standard leather dressings, dies and shoe polishes, was in the city this week and gave The Appeal a call. Mr. Howard's preparations were awarded the grand prize at the Paris Exposition of 1900 and they are considered to be the best that are made anywhere. The big department stores in most of the large cities handle Howard's goods. He has made an arrangement with the Golden Rule in this city to handle his goods and this enterprising and unprejudiced firm placed a big order with Mr. Howard. Mr. Howard states that he now gets orders from all parts of the civilized world and the manufactory at 3544 State street is constantly working at full capacity. This is quite pleasing and is an object lesson, teaching the fact that if an Afro-American will produce an article that is as good or better than that of others people will buy it. Howard's Lightning Shoe Polish is the best on the market and though he has "his face on every box," it sells like hot THE MUSEUM OF THE ARTS AND CULTURE The First National Bank, V. S. DEPOSITORY.
